The Rick ' s Softail ' Cover-Up ' Job

Windscreens for Nightsters

If you search for ' covers ' on the Rick ' s Motorcycles website , you will already get anywhere between 60 and 80 hits . So why , might you think , do they need to add more ? You would already see best-selling options such as its ' Porthole ' primary drive covers and a sophisticated Sportster and Sportster S open rotating belt pulley . Well , Rick ' s has continued to add new cover options not only because its advanced , precisionmanufacturing capabilities allow it to do so , but , quite simply , because its dealers asked them to - " more designs and more applications please ." Continuing the success of its state-of-the-art cover lines for the Sportster S and Nightster , Rick ' s covers are now available for 2018-up Milwaukee-Eight powered Softail models . Seen here are the first new Fat Bob applications - and a new Rick ' s Fat Bob custom to showcase them , sporting its new ' Smooth ' and ' Premium ' design covers , with more covers for other M-8 Softails also already available . The fact that they appear to almost disappear in the
' Smooth '
' Premium '
black-on-black look of this Rick ' s special is testament to how well these new Softail covers complement the bike ' s design , adding significantly to the " clean-up cool " that is Rick ' s customs ' hallmark . Featuring its custom rear wheel axle , swingarm axle , shock absorber bolt on the right side and front wheel axle - for this product photo shoot , both of the new cover variants , the ' Smooth ' and the ' Premium ', have been mounted to give a compare and contrast presentation for those who want to upgrade their M- 8 Softails . They are available as model-specific full kits or as singles / pairs for select positions .
Maywood , Illinois based National Cycle has added new windshield options for the 2022-2023 Harley- Davidson Revolution Max 975-engined Nightster and Nightster Special muscle bikes . " Right off the drag strip starting line is our legendary Flyscreen , available in light tint or dark tint with chrome or black hardware .
